Made it to Arkansas

Since the last blog things have gone rather smoothly except we are getting tired. We have seen all this and because we stayed later so Annie could get her shots we have not stopped to see anything new.

We drove uneventfully through the cold country and even passed Santa Rosa to spend the night in Tucumcari, NM. This was OK except we felt the RV park was kinda sleazy. No grass in sight but it had cable TV and WIFI so we managed.

From here we made it to Amarillo, TX and stayed in an older park which was very dog friendly. We arrived early and Shirley did laundry etc. Annie played and it was kind of a day of rest.

We left Texas and drove into Oklahoma. Just outside Oklahoma City where we stayed at a park that included breakfast. This was different for us. Our next door neighbor was a pipe fitter and had just "drug up" (quit his job) this was fun for me 'cause my dad had been a pipeline welder and I kinda know the language of these construction workers.

We awoke to cloudy skies and thunder, and lightening. After a stop at Walmart and the hail stopped we drove all the way to Fort Smith, AR where rain and thunder storms are forecast. If we can survive tonight we will try to make it to Memphis, TN where we should be out of most of the forecast bad weather.

Annie has been wonderful except for tonight; she peed on the rug in our trailer. She had been taken outside four times but just wanted to play, so nature won out. Disappointing, but we have been told they sometimes forget things and revert back to being babies. Hopefully she will remember next time.

Anyway we have had no mishaps other than stuff breaking in the trailer, the shower and toilet not flushing. We have appointments at Airstream in Jackson Center for after our caravan.

Things will be OK.

Which one is Annie?

Couldn't pass these up, saw then at a rest stop.

Shows the threat of weather.

Annie loves football.

See Ya! Barry, Shirley and Annie
